There are a few flavors associated with holiday desserts and treats, but none are as beloved as the minty, sweet flavor of candy canes. We enjoy these seasonal favorites from November through the New Year. And while they are an excellent, sugary, minty indulgence, they miss out on an important holiday component: booze.

The folks at Colorado’s famed Breckenridge Distillery have a real Holiday treat for you this year. Just in time for the winter months and all the parties, get-togethers, and general seasonal revelry, they’re releasing Breckenridge Candy Cane Vodka.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re on the naughty or nice list. You can grab a bottle of this festive vodka to add a little seasonal flair to your favorite cocktails. If you want to add some minty, boozy sweetness to your favorite mug of hot cocoa, this is the vodka for you. Buy it for yourself and mix with it, or put it in someone special’s stocking for a peppermint treat.

This seasonal vodka begins with a nose of spicy peppermint candy. The palate is a mix of white chocolate bark and sweet peppermint candy canes. The finish is warming, sweet, and loaded with mint flavor. After adding this vodka to your favorite winter cocktails, you won’t be dreaming about sugarplums.

Vodka is an easy spirit to mix cocktails with, thanks to its largely neutral flavor, which can match well with just about any other alcohol, juice, or fresh ingredient that you might want to put with it. There are plenty of classic vodka cocktails that are universally popular, from the Moscow Mule to the Bloody Mary, and drinks like the Vodka Martini and the Vodka Gimlet have their own passionate fans.

But for many people, vodka remains something that's mostly drunk during the warmer seasons. With its light flavors and clear appearance, it doesn't necessarily scream winter in the way that whiskey or bourbon does. However, if you're a vodka fan then there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy vodka cocktails all year round, and take advantage of vodka's neutral qualities to mix it into tasty and festive drinks for the holiday season.
